I know that unix systems have a GUI interface for logging in directly that looks a bit like a windows desktop, but I have never used it.

The difference between the two cases is in X11. In the first case it
is handled by Xming (not sure, guessing that), in the second case it
is handled by RH7 X11 library. <br></div></blockquote>X11 has client/server sides, and I often get them confused. I think it is the X11 server that is on the laptop side, and the client on the redhat linux side. So if you are using the unix GUI, maybe that is employing the older version of the X11 server that has the faulty rendering? </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>—Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

the system that doesn’t work? —Jennifer

after updating LINUX to RedHat Enterprise 7, grads

This is probably a symptom of an X11 problem. Are
you using COLA’s pre-compiled build on RHEL7, or did
you build your own executable from source? <br>

(1) we are using pre-compiled binaries from <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html">http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html</a>.

It seems that this problem is machine dependent

What is the non-windows system you are using to
login to the linux system that fails to render the
graphics properly? If it is a mac, what does it say
about versions in the ‘About X11’ pop up window?
What version of OS X is running? <br>

It works fine from WINDOWS 8.1 laptop (Dell) with Xming.

It is probably going to require a new X11 release,
